Why were they called concentration camps?

The name in German is (Konzentrationslager) that means concentration camp, at first were intended to hold political prisoners and opponents of the Nazi empire but after the WW2 began Hitler use the first six concentration camps to hold and exterminate jews, homosexuals, gypsies but later he find out he could use those people for work so he created various types of concentration camps: Labour camps: concentration camps where interned inmates had to do hard physical labour under inhuman conditions and cruel treatment. Some of these camps were sub-camps of bigger camps, or "operational camps", established for a temporary need. Transit and collection camps: camps where inmates were collected and routed to main camps, or temporarily held. POW camps: concentration camps where prisoners of war were held after capture. These POW's endured torture and liquidation in a big scale. Hostage camps: camps where hostages were held and killed as reprisals. Extermination camps: These camps differed from the rest, since not all of them were also concentration-camps. Although none of the categories is independent, and each camp could be classified as a mixture of several of the above, and all camps had some of the elements of an extermination camp, still systematic extermination of new-arrivals occured in very specific camps. Of these, three were extermination camps, where all new-arrivals were simply killed -- The "Reinhardt Aktion" camps. Three others were concentration and extermination camps altogether. Others were at times classified as "minor extermination camps."

Why call Gross Rosen a Polish concentration camp when all concentration camps were German and Gross Rosen itself was located in what was then Germany?

There were no Polish concentration camps during World War Two. Poland was attacked by Germany in September 1939 and occupied till 1945. All concentration camps on the Polish territory were built and operated by the German government. The term "Polish concentration camps" is highly abusive to Poles as millions of Polish citizens, of whom most were of Jewish origin, were killed there. By the German Nazis. To make it clear. Above agreed 100%. Note also that Poland was 100 miles further East between the World Wars, the border got shifted to take in a lot of Germany in 1945 when Soviet Russia had a major say in carving up Europe. So some concentration camps that were in Nazi Germany are now geographically in Poland. Try to find an historical atlas to fully understand! Also agreed. The camps should be referred to as Nazi German camps. In practice, the use of the term Polish concentration camps is usually lazy, not malicious. Some people also refer in the context of the Holocaust to Jewish concentration camps (!).

After the war whatdid Allied forces find in Germany?

The forces found the concentration and death camps. They found civilians and Nazis who were shot in hundreds of places. The atrocities of the concentration camps shocked the allies and they realized the real reason they were fighting the war. When they reached Berlin they found out that hundreds of thousand women had been raped or harmed by the Soviets. People were fleeing from the Soviets to get to the Americans and the Britons. The country was leveled by all the bombs they had dropped on Germany. People were starving, homeless and needed medical care too. The Nazis had abandoned their own people and Hitler blamed them for losing the war.
